The artwork, “The Secret Garden,” was crafted by Charles Robinson in 1912. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the illustration genre. This illustration is part of a series created for the 1912 edition of “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
The artwork depicts a serene and enchanting scene within a garden. Three children are illustrated amidst lush vegetation and blooming flowers. The top of the artwork is graced with delicate pink roses cascading downward, while the children are surrounded by a variety of greenery and tall, blue flowers. The soft color palette and fluid lines are typical of the Art Nouveau style, creating a whimsical and idyllic atmosphere. One child, seated at the bottom wearing a hat and yellow attire, appears to be working with garden tools, while the others seem engrossed in their surroundings. The gentle, dreamy ambiance evokes a sense of curiosity and discovery, capturing the essence of childhood wonder within the hidden garden.
